Hi Guys,

I am considering to buy the side stand enlarger for R nineT. But before that, do you think it is useful ?

There are not many options, just eye on the Unit Garage currently. Any others suggestion ?

Thanks in advance

I think they have different sidestand enlargers for different models. Mine looks like this with a slight angle. On the bike it looks very well and the machining is out of this world. Just see on their website, you will note different part numbers. The quality made it worth spending that money, I think you get what you pay for. If it is all about function, buy the cheapest. Just happen to own Wunderlich and although initially a bit concerned about the price, once I got it, I could see why.

They are not cheap but think it would be worth for the money in terms of quality. Just not many choices out there.

Hi, the $12.00 stand wins hands down Its just my opinion,
I can't understand the phrase "you get what you pay for ?"
maybe in another subject or another product ? Yes I can understand but not in this case

Its a piece of metal (I hope) and it just enlarges the bottom of the stand. The kickstand gets kicked around and scratched up from placing it on the ground and dirty etc. so will the enlarger
I think the $12.00 version does the same job as the over expensive companies that probably use scrap metal to make into stand enlargers


the $12.00 sounds fine to me. good choice

It's not a bling thing.

You probably have just never personally witnessed a bike going down because the pavement (tarmac) has given away from becoming soft in the heat of summer. I have, and it's not a pretty sight.

It happened where I used to work, so management added a concrete motorcycle only parking pad so this wouldn't happen again.
